The Rosewood Crescent Hotel reeks of old money. This could be because the decor in many of its 191 tastefully appointed guest rooms haven’t been updated in several years; then again, it could also be because of its proximity to a plethora of fancy-schmancy shopping and dining destinations. Nobu, Palomino, Arcodoro y Pomodoro, Stanley Korshak […]

Fast food has sped to a higher life form: Indian. Imagine takeout ventilating from the sack with clove, cumin and coriander on its breath. Imagine a plastic clamshell steaming with lamb balti, tandoori chicken and vegetable masala with a side of vegetable samosas or exotic hot wings. Now groom your lip with a cool mango […]
Leave visions of typical, high-quantity, low-quality lunch buffets at the door. Sure, the menu includes Subcontinental standards like tandoori, biryani and curries. But then diners can order from the “Two Step” section, one with the option of upsizing to the Texas portion. Step 1 is a selection of meats, cheese or vegetables. Step 2 allows […]

Famous Hawaiian chef Roy Yamaguchi (he has a TV show and 32 restaurants bearing his name) brings his island-Asian-Cal-Gallic rumba to the land of lone stars and two-stepping steers with mostly satisfying results. The menu changes nightly except for a couple of worthy stalwarts like the Ahi Tuna poketini,” a kind of raw tuna and […]

You’d think Royal China, situated near Preston Hollow and catering to a mostly American clientele since 1974, would have been surpassed many times over by the new wave of Chinese restaurants in Plano, Richardson and other northern suburbs. But this Dallas institution is more than keeping up with the times. Chefs pull noodles and roll […]

This gem of the Old Town Shopping Center has quite possibly some of the best corn patties this city can offer. The fritters are crisp and not greasy. The accompanying cucumber sauce is tangy and sweet with thinly sliced red onions offering a fine crunch. Other top choices, served by traditionally attired servers, include the […]
“At The Rustic, music is part of our DNA,” The Rustic’s creator Kyle Noonan said in 2020 as the bar and restaurant kicked off its Safe Sounds Music Series, a masked and socially distanced concert series aimed at keeping the music playing during the pandemic. And then there’s this: “We hustle together, we party together, […]
Look past the silly names for entrees such as Cure For The Common Cabbage or Everybody Loves Relleno, and you’ll quickly realize that Rye serves seriously good fare that you’re unlikely to find in mainstream Dallas restaurants. Dinners are built from an array of plates that grow progressively larger on the menu, each selection a […]
A go-to for Gulf oysters, where the turnover is so high a team of shuckers work up front at lightning speed. With custom made cocktail sauce and a handful of crackers you can make a whole meal out of these meaty specimens.
ablon Chocolate Lounge takes inspiration from the Belgian chocolate culture, claiming high-quality chocolate “is a birth right that should be enjoyed by everyone.” The menu is indulgent in every sense; the selection, the portions, and the prices all staggering.

It’s possible to focus on a different aspect of this restaurant with each visit: Come once to sample Sachet’s seasonal house-made pastas – Sachet is one of the best pasta joints in […]
Many of the regulars at this Richardson institution come to share a bounteous portion of whole roasted catfish, priced by size and served with rice paper, sauces and herbs for make-them-yourself spring rolls. There are also roasted quail and buttery frog legs on the menu at Saigon Block, which specializes in the kind of banquet […]
Just across the parking lot from Quoc Bao (and a two-minute walk from Pho Bang), Saigon Deli’s emphasis is more on the filling of the sandwiches rather than the bread. Spring for seafood or excellent, rich pate, which is a perfect foil to the slices of jalapeno. Plus, unlike Quoc Bao, Saigon Deli has tables.
